First Foray - A Wild Food and Medicine Expedition

Description

Join Melanie Brotz for this outdoor class and learn about edible and medicinal plants that grow right here in Burlington!

​April is a time of anticipation and excitement for connoisseurs of wild plant foods and for herbal medicine enthusiasts. Discover the first edible shoots starting to emerge from the thawing ground, the first leaves beginning to unfurl, and learn to find deep root medicine still holding potency under the soil. We will be focusing on abundant "non-native" weed species that have joined us here in Vermont as partners in our sustenance and health.

Please come ready to walk - we will be moving around quite a bit along the bike path and waterfront.
